The subject will include critical investigation of the rationale for a selected learning
area, the nature and design of the Australian Curriculum framework in this area and
specific teaching models, strategies (including ICT use) and resources pertinent to
this area, with particular reference to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2017). These
will be contextualised within the fundamentals of curriculum design, with a focus
on constructive alignment of content, pedagogy and assessment to meet the needs of
diverse learners. The subject develops pre-service teachers' competence in planning,
implementing and evaluating/reflecting in their junior secondary area of teaching.
The subject builds a repertoire of strategies informed by learning theories and scholarship.
There is also an emphasis on authentic professional practice to develop pedagogical
content knowledge through performance-based assessment and engagement with the profession.
To complement and enhance curriculum development, a core strand of the subject will
also focus on ICT as a general capability across the secondary curriculum.
